Salt Bakes is a new bakery in Bukit Batok West Shopping Centre, located opposite Sheng Siong Supermarket. The modern bakery bakes cakes, buns and other pastries, such as tapioca kueh, muffins, tau sar peah (mung bean biscuit), etc. The good news is: the price tags are reasonable.
Aside from buying and taking-away the pastries, Salt Bakes also serves hot and iced drinks, including traditional kopi. Several tables inside the shop allow customers to consume the pastries with coffee or other drinks.
Salt Bakes’s Carrot Cake is what first caught my attention and drew me into the shop. The carrot cake is made with strips of carrot, walnuts, raisins, etc, and has a top layer of thick savoury sour cream. The bottom cake is mild-sweet with the sour cream adding sweet-savouriness to it. On the whole, the cake tastes nice and its low sweetness level is definitely a draw.
The Yuzu Cake is mild-sweet with a thin wavy layer on top that gives the cake its sweet yuzu flavour and nice aroma. The bottom cake has a unique texture of its own. This is the first time I tried a yuzu-flavoured cake and it is nice.
The Banana Cake is soft, moist, mildly sweet and with a light banana aroma. The slices of banana on top add aroma to the cake after baking. The low sweetness level is again a draw for me and the moist cake is nice too.
I will love to have breakfast with coffee in Salt Bakes some day as there are not many cafes in Bukit Batok West.
